HIRAETH|| Bernard the Elf x Reader [DISCONTINUED]

Chapter 3 "Who the Hell?"

"Who are you anyway?" He questioned.

Momentarily, you pull your lips away from the cup to reply, "O-Oh, I'm uhhh 'Santa's' daughter. My name's y/n." Then you proceeded to sip the hot cocoa again.

"Interesting name..."

After that, you kinda just fazed out into your music. All you know was that the both of them were in verbal disagreement.

After a while, you heard familiar paces footsteps.

"Charlie! I told you to stay in the sleigh!" You gave him a stern look and rested a hand on his shoulder.

"Who's this weird looking guy?" Charlie asks with an innocent tone pointing at Bernard.

"D-dahhh I- Charlie! That's rude!" You stammer, sending Charlie yet another stern and scolding glare. You then give a soft apologetic look to Bernard. He shakes his head and gives a little side smile, "Don't worry about it doll" He chuckles out.

You blush from embarrassment from your little brother.

"Who's this little fella anyway?" He kneels down looking at Charlie then to you.

"Oh- This is my little brother Charlie" You say with a soft smile.

"This is- uhhh" Your father joins in in an attempt to introduce Bernard, clearly forgetting what his name is.

"Bernard" He replies with a deadpan face

"Hi Bernard!" Charlie greets excitedly.

"Heya sport" Bernard puts back his charming smile

"Hey y/n he called me sport! Just like dad does!"

"Yea Charlie, it's sweet don't you think.." You say rubbing his back.

"Hold out your hand, I got something for ya" Bernard reaches down his brown satchel bag.

Charlie opens his hands and you support them with one hand. You didn't want him possibly dropping whatever Bernard was gonna give him.

"Now...hold this carefully...this is very old, just like me" He says rather sternly carefully handing him a fancy little snow globe. Even you were in awe. Sure they sell these all over town but you could sense this one was special...not sure how...

"How old is this dude?...he looks the same age as me..." you question in your head but brush it off as you watched Charlie receive the globe.

"Woah...thank you..." You look up at Bernard with a genuine smile. Unknowingly, he held a gaze of awe at your smile. That is, until your father shot a small glare at him.

"Charlie, say thank you"

"Thanks...Thanks a lot..." He stated.."didn't have to be such a creep about it dude it's just a snowglobe-" you thought to yourself.

"Shake it up Charlie" Bernard insists. Charlie begins shaking the globe. The snow particles scatter and float around. Then, what happened afterwards left you in a state of awe. Santa's sleigh soared through the sky in full animation. You doubted it was the actions of technology. You knew it was the action of magic. And you were an extremely logic driven person.

"Hey y/n, have Charlie hold onto me for that will ya?" He insists with his signature side smile.

"S-sure thing"

There was more chit chat here and there. Your father was still extremely confused, as were you. Bernard had Charlie sent off to another room. You insisted to stay with your father since you also were seeking answers.

"Follow me"

"But- wait- Barnaby I just wanna go home!"

"His name's Bernard dad" *insert eye roll here*

You followed the two into Santa's workshop where the myriad of toys were manufactured. They were still arguing.
